Hi everyone, i've been looking on here for a while now and finally decided to make my own project log. I've owned the corsa since last august now and have made a few modifications to it now.
These are the pics from when I first got it.

Few modifications i have made, painted standard alloys grey, fitted new 3.5" backbox, fitted de-badged grill and de-badged boot, blue side repeaters, painted some of the interior plastics arden blue and carbon fibre wrapped some aswell.

Recently baught a set of tsw venoms and sprayed them black with a blue metal flake and painted centre caps arden blue and baught 2 yokohama parada's as 2 tyres needed repalcing. :D

I have also fitted 6 x 9 speaker to the parcel shelf and new speakers in the front doors and a new radio.Next thing i have planned is to take bump strips of and sxi stickers and also lower it about 40mm.
The grey alloys and the tyres in the first pics are for sale now and i also have a few arden blue interior plastics for sale aswell if anyone interested.
Hope you like what i have done to my car so far and there will hopefully be plenty more to come :)

Cheers, took me a while to do but happy with the way they turned out. I would love to slam it but I live on a farm and I would scrape the floor everytime I go up the track haha, I am defiantly lowering a bit though.

Looks good mate :) I would say lower it 30-40mm but you might get some rubbing with those wheels but it would look a lot better :) but good start pal!

Yeah i was thinking 30-40mm and they only 15's so do you reckon they would rub?

Get yourself a set of FK coilovers on ebay for about £160. That way you can ride at 40mm and adjust the camber to suit.
